WHAT IS AN ESCAPE ROOM?
Escape rooms are real-life games whereby you and your team will be placed in a themed room of your choice. In order to ‘escape’, you are required to go through the process of problem-solving and elimination and crack a series of puzzles as well as logical mind games while utilising a wide array of technology to decipher codes and locks, all the while racing against the clock! Escape Rooms New Zealand is a game that is suited for everyone – the hawk-eyed observer, the intellectual, the motivated enthusiasts and the quick thinkers. Gather your best bunch of friends, your date, family or colleagues and work as a team to escape before your time is up!

Is it suitable for Children ?Whilst we have had all ages through all our rooms and have enjoyed the experience, however only you as a parent will know if your child is likely to be scared by any particular room themes. Generally, we would not recommend to bring children of age 6 or under to any escape room at all. Children of all ages are welcome in all of the rooms. All children under 16 years of Age should be accompanied by a paying adult participant. All children under 7 are free of charge

-
Are there different levels of difficulty?Each room is very different using different technology and puzzles. Therefore the level of difficulty does not change, the rooms do. Try them all.
-
Can I play another game straight after?Yes, while your brain is thinking at high speed, why not do another!

-
Are the rooms different?Each room has a very different theme with different puzzles and technology. No two rooms are alike…so you should try them all!
-
Do we need to speak English?A basic understanding of the English language would help.
-
Can I store my belongings somewhere while I play?There are secure lockers that you can put your belongings. No cell phones are allowed into the room so they will definitely be locked away for an hour.
-

-
Do you do private bookings or functions?Definitely yes. Talk to us about what you need and we will accommodate.
